There a few things to note here, slipstreaming is very easy to do. And there are enough blogs and walk throughs on the subject.
As for your problem with Dual boots, this is due to the way you would have installed the OS. And doesn't answer why it happened, however once again there is nothing magical about the Windows Vista boot config. And is fairly similar to the way Windows XP did it, there is a known Vista Boot program that will allow you to achieve what it is your trying to achieve. http://www.vistabootpro.org/ Of course one could have found the exact answer via google, but that I guess is half the fun of getting someone else to answer your questions? -----Original Message----- From: Vivec [mailto:gel21...@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, 15 December 2008 12:52 AM To: cf-community Subject: Installed Vista 64 on my machine Well, In response to the Spyware incident I've installed Vista 64, SP1. I found a SP1 Slipstream disc online, and downloaded that for the install. It seems that Microsoft offers Slipstreamed SP1 installation discs only to Technet subscribers for download. You need to pay at least about 320USD for the privilege of being a technet Subscriber, and getting access to useful downloads. So..I got my Disc elsewhere, I already had a paid up product key so I went ahead and entered and used that to activate. So far, the system is running phenomenally better, but neither is it sticking for any reason. The spyware is, of course, all gone. A major issue, though, is the loss of my alternate Windows Xp dual boot options. The computer has now set the Vista drive to drive C:\, while the XP Drive has been set to D:\. This , of course, represents a serious problem. I don't know how I'm going to get back my XP Dual boot options, but when I do it can't view the XP installation as a Drive D:\...none of the installed programs will work. I'll work on that next, I am installing Drivers and updates now. I also intend to create a backup of this installation. ANy idea on how to use the built In windows backup to make a drive image that can be restored to bring back your PC? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:282664 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
